‘We managed to get Christian back’ – the heroes of CopenhagenHow players, medics and officials all played their part in helping Christian Eriksen after his collapse. I Hope he Can get back soon to play again,best wishes💯💯💯👏👏👏 Yet the BBC refused to turn the cameras away to show a bit of respect Stop saying he’s awake. He didn’t have a little nap on the pitch. He is conscious - big difference. Also stop saying he is OK? Clearly a man who had to be resuscitated is not OK - he is allegedly stable and may well have had his career terminated 😣
